    Say what you want about Ike, he gave the most prescient warning to the American people he possibly could have

    And he managed the greatest invasion in history

    Terrible alternatives? Two ultimate moderate republicans versus a marxist incompetent black liberation theory AA candidate? barry believed that we couldn't drill our way to energy independence and that we could keep our doctor and plan. Energy and medical,m two of the biggest components of the American economy and barry had it incredibly wrong. Work the balls.

    Hint - he didnt actually believe those things. He just hates america. Part of his jihad.

    the Eisenhower days.

    90% tax rates and the strongest middle class in American history.

    Granted it still wasn't so good for Blacks, but still...

    Except it was Ike who sent the Federal troops into Little Rock Central HS when the Democratic governor of Arkansas refused to educate black children.


    Ike wasn't necessarily the best president, he just governed during the best time. Combine FDR's new deal framework with the post war economic boom and you have a golden age.

    correlation =/= causation.
    Fuck that.

    The industrialization of America for WWII is what created the Golden Age, not any fucking New Deal.


    Disagree. The economy during the war was terrible. The golden age didn’t start until around 1950.

    Agree is wasn’t the disastrous New Deal. What a crock that was
    It was such a crock that Roosevelt was re-elected 3 times with that as his signature policy accomplishment. Makes sense.
    People being stupid doesn't prove the policy was good. If a president gave everyone a million dollars (Like Bloomberg could) and was elected 5 times does this mean it was a good policy? No. It means people are like hamsters and will keep taking hits off the sugar water as long as they can

    We? just started calling in all the receivables after the war. In the cash flow cycle, you gots to spend money to make money.
    That's not what lead the golden age though

    Enacting policy that people who elected you to represent them actually like?
    What a travesty....
